I've been using it with 14.0-CURRENT, and my skills are too limited for patching it. So, I've decided to find a machine on which a RELEASE or STABLE version would work. To my knowledge, and after many tries, it seems that there are no FreeBSD working smoothly on RPI4 B.

It's just for getting other experiences. I haven't run a recent snapshot, but the Pine64 A64-LTS board has been a solid board for me... But I will admit that I use it remotely, so I don't know how good the display works, or if X will work on it. https://www.pine64.org/devices/single-board-computers/pine-a64-lts/ -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
